GoSolo Verdict

A budget big-screen phone with a solid OLED display and surprising durability for the price, but saddled with an entry-level chipset and weak cameras that drag down everyday use. At €170 it's hard to fault the value proposition, though buyers chasing performance should look elsewhere.

Strengths · 3

7-inch OLED display at 120Hz with 1800 nits peak brightness is genuinely good for a budget device—most rivals at this price still use LCD
8000 mAh battery with IP65 rating means all-day endurance without the usual durability compromises you'd expect in this bracket
Lightweight at 225g for a 7-inch phone, making it actually comfortable to hold one-handed despite the size

Trade-offs · 3

Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 is underpowered even for a budget phone in 2026—app launching stutters, heavier games are unplayable, multitasking feels choppy
50MP main camera maxes out at 1080p video and takes soft, undersaturated photos in poor light; 8MP selfie is forgettable
Charging details omitted from specs but the battery size suggests modest wattage by 2026 standards—expect a slow top-up
